I don't use Chrome often but on some systems, especially in relating to older low end hardware, it tends to work better, even more so than say...Seamonkey. I prefer Seamonkey because it gives me an excuse to say Seamonkey. I do feel Chrome represents a few security issues and am not completely enamored with logging into my browser but this has nothing to do with actual use.

Aura is the graphical stack that Chrome OS uses and dispenses somewhat with GTK+

If you would like to test this you can download from the Dev Channel. There is not an extreme amount of difference, however since it should not take on your theming this may come in handy if you are having issues that arise, usually text, from the usually wonderfully dark theming that Ultimate Edition employs.

Don't know what version of Chromium started out with on this 13.10 but boy was it a flop! Current runs, but sticking with Firefox as can depend on it all the time when it comes to this Pipelight stuff! The drudgeries of some jobs! They just can not seem to ween themselves from MS! So they shove this inept stuff on us and keep force feeding up how wonderful it is! Such is life in this business world!

I see this current version that upgraded recently does function, but still have to see how well before would think of using it again! Am not blaming it on the OS as I have all these other browsers and they work perfect! I mean, these days soon as I click on Internet when it gets to the desktop page is opened and complete! That went for every browser on here except for Chromium, but now since this latest version looks as though has caught up! Am curious if you had any issues with Chromium when you used 13.10 til recent? Any way as always all information you post is always useful. I wish I could say the same for myself!!!

On 13.10 I generally used Firefox, but whenever I pulled Chromium up I can't recall having any issues. My biggest issue with 13.04, 13.10 is that they worked too well. Generally many many many things were fixed that were problematic in 12.04 especially when it came to KDE. So on my end it is more a time constraint versus investment. So 14.04 for me is something I feel I will wait for release on to see if I have an easier time of moving forward from 13.10 and I will go from there.

Chromium Project covers all of it and here is where it gets tricky..

Chromium Browser is open source, and sometimes not so much time is invested here and it can run a little behind, so if you use this link, and download unstable and developer you are actually downloading Chrome, and this has to be installed independently either way since it is not open source.

So if you were having issues with Chromium, this doesn't mean Chrome won't work as well.(This is why you see Chrome in download link in Panel so often in Distros instead of being installed, cuz Chromium, #! does this)

Really it is Chrome w/ Aura, lol. and they could remove Aura at any time, this has happened before.

And now, the completely true facts, as told by an anonymous man hiding behind a screen name:
